During the month of March, I'm having a 2-man show with Michael Schweigart at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ. Mike and I are both landscape painters and we both paint the local countryside, but we each have very different approaches to painting. Mike's work is highly detailed and exquisitely rendered, as you can see in his painting above. In comparison, my work is much looser, and lately I've been putting more emphasis on the character of the paint than on the detail of the subject. In this exhibition, my work also shows a greater emphasis on atmospheric effects and cloudscapes than I have shown in the past.

Another very important piece of news is that Artists' Gallery has moved to 18 Bridge Street, right in the heart of Lambertville. The gallery is celebrating it's 15 year anniversary this year so that makes the move even more exciting. Most artist cooperatives only survive a few years, but Artists' Gallery is still going strong and in spite of the tough economy, we're movin' on up. It's a much better location, we have more display area and it's a beautifully finished space inside. We've all been working very hard to make this move happen in a short period of time and "Local Color" will be the gallery's first show at it's new location. The opening reception for "Local Color" will also serve as the Grand Reopening Reception for the gallery so it should be a blast. I hope you can join us.
The show runs March 5 through April 4, 2010.
Opening reception is Saturday, March 13 from 5-8pm at:
18 Bridge Street
Lambertville, NJ

Gallery hours: every Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11am-6pm

If you're anxious to see our new space or if you can't make the reception on the 13th, please join us on Sunday, March 7 from 2-5pm for a smaller, informal reception. To be honest, we may be a little rough around the edges since March 5 is our first day of business on Bridge Street, and this reception is sort of a dry run at doing receptions in the new space. So forgive us if everything is not perfect, if we only have a temporary sign in the front window, or if we forget where we packed the napkins, but it should be a good reception anyway so please join us if you can!
